If you think this thread isn't worth anyone's time, then just shut it down already instead of using it as some kind of platform to look down on the people actually participating in this forum.
So, I was just sitting here thinking about how much of a mess things can get when you have a local archaeologist trying to be "creative" with their findings, and honestly, it’s enough to make my blood boil. You see it all the time in small-town America—someone thinks they’ve stumbled upon something groundbreaking, but really, they’re just rearranging the furniture of history to fit their own little narrative. It’s one thing to follow the science, but it’s another thing entirely to start treating historical sites like your own personal sandbox for "artistic interpretation." These so-called creative contributions from local digs are usually nothing more than a desperate attempt to make a boring patch of dirt look like the next big discovery, and frankly, it undermines everything serious researchers are actually doing out there in the field.

It’s actually a pretty simple conclusion if you bother to look at it—once you fall in line with a group, you stop acting on your own principles and start following whatever mindless set of rules that crowd has cooked up for itself.
Larry Sanchez30 said:Look, if a person refuses to ever change their mind, you’re looking at one of two extremes: they are either an absolute genius who has already figured out the fundamental truths of the universe, or they are a complete and utter moron. There isn't really any middle ground here.
I’ve been thinking about this lately, and honestly, it’s a simple mathematical truth applied to the human condition: a person is essentially nothing more than a fraction. You take who you actually are—your true character, your real actions, your actual substance—and that’s your numerator. Then you take how much you think of yourself, that massive, bloated ego, and that becomes your denominator. It’s basic arithmetic, really. The bigger that denominator gets, the smaller the actual value of the person becomes. If you walk around thinking you're the greatest thing since sliced bread, you're just shrinking your own worth until you're practically zero.
Larry Sanchez30 said:What is even the point of dragging out an argument over a theory you clearly don't believe in to begin with? Is this just some desperate attempt to play the intellectual heavyweight, or are you actually trying to prove something to us? It feels like you're just talking in circles for the sake of hearing your own voice.
Look, I’ve still got plenty more where that came from if anyone actually wants to see it, so if you need me to drop some links, just say the word and I'll get them posted. 😁
